Re: Facts about steering slop....
Is it a ZQ8 box? If not it';s still stock ratio... You can also use an envoy intermediate shaft or the latest s10/sonama/blazer/jimmy shaft... the less miledge the better

Re: Facts about steering slop....
yeh it was the zq8box. He also said he had the boxes with the racks but had to email me back with prices. The trailblazer rack will mate to a zq8 box

Alright guys I know this answer is somewhere in this post but I thought I would throw the question out anyway. I can't tell if I am having steering slop or other issues??? Here are my problems:
I have had issues every since I bought the truck with the steering. I have had very easily 5 allignments and it never resolved anything. Ball joints replaced, pitman arm, pretty much everything. I drive down the highway and it drifts in either direction depending on the slope in the road. There are sometimes I have almost a quarter tuen in the steering wheel to keep it straight and then al of a sudden it is like the steering catches and turns the direction I am turniong the wheel. I could never take my hands off of the wheel cause it will never go in a straight line. When the truck is lifted from the front both wheels have a good amount of left to right movemeant without the steering wheel responding. The only unusual tire wear I have noticed is that I seem to wear the inside and outside more. I have always kept the pressure about what is recomended thinking I would wear the middle a little more to try and even the wear out but that didn't work. Any ideas for me guys and gals? Thanks for any input and let me say once again that this is a great site with a bunch of great people! I have done and learned so much from all of you.

Re: Facts about steering slop....
Replace the steering box w/ a zq8 box and new intermediate shaft.

Wow, It sounds like I was writing this!! Thes best part is when the steering catches you feel like you've gone to far and you turn the wheel the other way and on and on and on. I kind of feel like I'm driving drunk!!! |
